Any project that was obtained through the backdoor was not a good project to her. She might not know anything about buildings, but she knew that jerry-built building projects would only harm her son.
The expression on Jeremy’s face darkened when he heard what Sally said. Frowning, he turned to Sally and said, “Who are you, old woman? What gives you the right to ask about how and where I got my project?”
An angry expression appeared on Wendy’s face. “Jeremy Morris, watch your words! She’s my friend’s mom!”
“Friend?” Jeremy narrowed his eyes slightly.
It was nearing the end of the year now. Most people would be shopping for Christmas presents now if they were out.
The contents of Wendy’s shopping cart proved that.
“Boyfriend or girlfriend?” Jeremy asked, his jealousy apparent.
Wendy replied coldly, “That’s none of your business.”
Wendy’s attitude proved Jeremy’s suspicions to be true. He had just been feeling euphoric and thought that his days of being successful in both his career and his relationship had started. Jealousy coursed through him when he learned that Wendy already had a boyfriend.
“Wendy, you know how I’ve always liked you since the day you joined Commercial Bank and we got to know each other. I still like you to this day. How could you have just found yourself a boyfriend like that?”
Jeremy frowned. His voice was filled with obvious contempt as he said, “I’ve taken up a project in the Southface River project. I’ll earn millions of dollars through this project. Where does your boyfriend work? Can he even earn a million dollars in his entire lifetime?
